The Superhero!Hype RPGs board is a place where fans of various different companies come together to play RPGs by post in relative harmony. Players apply for characters and come up with their own plots, but are encouraged to interact with the other players on the board. Recently this has been followed through with a number of Apocalypse / World Domination / Registration Act arcs, to varying degrees of success.

Unlike boards such as DC Nation, the Basement (so identified because the RPGs are at the bottom of the boards...no other reason...) has a number of RPGs to play on from both DC and Marvel, as well as other continuites based upon the player's own universe. Each RPG is split into different seasons, which last more than a year in real time.

Alternate Continuity: The RPG diverges around the time of Identity Crisis from the main DC canon, though there have been recent attempts to co-opt certain (Black Lantern related) aspects of the comics.

The Atoner: Sinestro is played as this for around 5 seasons, making up for misdeeds and even joining the Justice League. It makes his eventual Face-Heel Turn hurt that much more.

Wham Episode: The Joker's going to try and destroy the sun! Batman's appeared to stop him! The Sun-Killer is crashing towards the Earth! Crime Alley is destroyed, everything's going to be okay! The Joker stabs Batman when he's stunned!
